Over the past couple of weeks, my back has been feeling great. I am not getting any pain at home and I am able to hit the road and trail when I have time. Life is good on the road back to the bike during my recovery. However, I find myself in a place in [...]
I came across this info graphic about cars and bikes this morning that I thought was really valuable. It is…by far…one of the best illustrations I have seen to date on driver/road biker relations. I can not begin to tell you how many rides I have been on where a road biker will yell, scream, [...]
With winter firmly here to make life more interesting for cyclists how should you be modifying your bike? Step 1: Fenders The first step is also the most obvious one. Fenders. If you’ve never heard of them you must be living in a magical world where whenever you go through a muddy puddle, it doesn’t [...]
There is something that happens within the cycling community that no one else understands. Thanks to modern technology and Facebook, not only can we know with deadly accuracy what you are doing on a daily basis, but we are now made aware of when you are “off the bike” as the news hits the timeline. [...]
As mountain and road bikers, we do many things very well. We find excuses why we have to ride this weekend, we find justifications for why that new high end part will improve our skills and we even use riding as an excuse to eat more food. But…one of the things I have found that [...]
As the saying goes, “the couple that plays together, stays together” and for those of us that are obsessed with all things cycling, we can find that the time to play together can become a scarce commodity as we juggle the balance between work, family and riding. Before we got married, my wife had very [...]
As we enter the colder months in the northern hemisphere, the decreased daylight hours can take a heavy toll on our riding fitness as the available time to ride decreases drastically. Gone are the days of regular weekday rides in favor of darkness as you head home on your daily commute. When the days start [...]
It’s a story that has been told a thousand times. As we gear up for charity rides, group rides and spins out on our favorite stretch of land, we begin to size up the riders around us to figure out which wheel we want to grab onto to and who we need to watch out [...]
Tackling your first ever triple digit mileage bike ride or taking on a century road ride that is drastically different than rides you are used to can be an interesting challenge. For many, the achievement mark of a 100 mile ride is a stepping stone they must take in their cycling career…for others…it is a [...]
Over the past couple of weeks, I have heard a couple of stories of roadies and drivers going at it because of actions taken on the road. While this is a super sensitive subject amongst cyclists, each of the stories involved a road cyclist that was in the wrong and they took it among themselves [...]
Our bodies are well oiled machines that rely on muscle memory to get the job done. Some of those actions are automated and others are conditioned over time to perform a certain task. With road biking, it is no different. If you are wanting to get faster on the bike, there is still no replacement [...]
If you have been on a road bike for more than 5 seconds, you already know that you can ride faster with less energy exerted in a paceline. By sharing the wind resistance among multiple riders, the pack can move forward, faster as a whole than one at a time. In an organized pace line, [...]
